Forster Bench Rest Full Length Die Set – 6×47 Lapua (2-Die)

Description

The 6×47 Lapua has become a go-to round for precision rifle and target work, and it deserves dies that match its reputation. This Forster set covers both ends of the reloading process, giving you a full length sizing die and a bench rest seating die packed together in a deluxe die box. Both are machined from polished steel to tight tolerances, then hand polished before and after heat treating for a smooth, clean finish that shows in the finished rounds.

What Makes the Forster Bench Rest Die Set Different

The full length sizer resizes the case body, shoulder and neck in one pass while setting your headspace, and it uses Forster's E-Z Out expander system. The expander ball sits high in the die, close to the neck, which gives you better mechanical leverage on the expansion stroke and helps keep the neck aligned instead of pulling it off center. That alignment is the whole point of a bench rest die.

The seater is where Forster made its name. The sliding chamber design holds the case, the bullet and the seating stem in perfect alignment as the bullet is pressed in, which is the same straight-line concept Forster patented decades ago. It's a non-crimping seater, so the bullet and case stay squared up through the entire stroke for straighter, more concentric loaded rounds.

Getting the Most From Your 6×47 Lapua Dies

Because this is a full length set, it's a versatile starting point that suits hunters, target shooters and anyone who runs a bolt gun. Each die wears Forster's Cross Bolt lock ring, which clamps the split ring around the die body rather than digging a set screw into the threads, so your settings hold and the die threads stay undamaged. Set it once, lock it down, and you can expect the same results every time you sit down at the bench.
